Application filed August 13,1928. Serial No. 299,429.

This invention relates to improvements in i harrows, the general objects of the invention belng to provide means for detachably and 5 rowto the frame thereofso that the teeth can be placedat different distances apart and canberemoved whenever desired. This invention alsoconsists in certain othe features of construction and in combination I0 and arrangementof the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and,;specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

y In describing the invention in detail, refcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in, which V Figure 1 is a plan view of the improved I Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig ure 1.

Figure 3 is a section online3 3 of F igure 2.

section on line 44 of Figigure 5 is aperspective view of one of the channelmembers.

In thedrawing, the numeral 1 indicates a j 30 frame of substantially rectangular shape which-is boltedat its center to the beam 2, theframe extending diagonally to the beam, with its ends connected to the beam by the braces3. The spring teeth of the harrow Y are shown at 4, and each tooth has its upper end engaging the channel part of a channelshaped member 5 which is placed in the lower part of a small casing 6, the member 5 being of considerably greater length than the casing. Each casing extends within the frame 1 and is'attached to a plate or cross piece 7 by a bolt 8,theplates bridging the frame 1 and i having their'ends recessed to receive the upper edges of the two side bars or sidepieces of said frame. The lower edges of said'side pieces are formed with curved notches 9, and each channel-shaped member is formed with a rounded rib' 10 at each end thereof onits top, one of these ribs engaging a notch in v one of the side pieces and the other ribengag casing 6 and the nutof thebolt 8 tightened, the casing Will be moved upwardly so asto cause the ribs 10 of the-cha-nnel shaped member to engage a pair of the notches 9'in the cross frame 1, when further 'movementfof the" justed toward and awayfrom each other so"- channelshaped member is placed, the upper ing a notch'in'the other side piec A 'pair o'f transversely extending flanges ll isformed an the top of each channel member-and these flanges engage the inner walls of thefr'ame '{1 to prevent endwise' movement ofthe chan-.

5 nel memberfz'is clearly "shown in Figures '2 Thus it will be seen'that whenfthe 'upper end of the tooth is placed between'the channel-shaped member'andthe lower part-of the" nut will cause thec asin'gto clamp the tooth inthe channel-shaped membera By providing a pluralityjof these notches 9, the holding means forthe teeth of the harrow can be ad as to adjust the spaces between the teeth and by loosening the nuts on the bolts 8, the clamping action between the casings and channelshaped members can be lessened so that the teeth can be removed. j J

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages-and novel features". i

of the invention will be-readily apparent. I

It is to be .understoodthat changesmay. be I inadein the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, I

provided that such changes fall within the,

scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is':. f V 1. An implement of the class described I comprising a cross frame, including two. side bars, said bars having notches in their lower edges, a plurality of channel-shaped members, a casing in the lower part of which each 0 part of each casing extending into the space formed by the frame, means forsupporting I the casing from the frame, ribs on the channel-shaped members engaging the notches in I, the side bars of the frame andteeth having? portions clamped between the channel-shaped members and their casings.

1 2. An implement of the class described comprising a cross frame, including two side bars, said-bars having notches in their lower??? edges, a plurality of channel-shaped members, a casing in the lower part of Which each channel-shaped member is placed, the upper part of each casing extending into the space formed by the frame, means for supporting the casing from the frame, rib-s on the channel-shaped members engaging the notches in the side bars of the frame, teeth havin portions clamped between the channel-s aped members and their casings and flanges 0n the channel-shaped members engaging the interior Walls of the frame for preventing iongitudinal movement of the channel memers.

3. An implement of the class described comprisinga cross frame including a pair of side bars having'notches in their lower edges,

a plurality if casings extending inte the space iOlfmed by the frame, cross pieces bridging the space, and resting upon theupper edges 7 oi; the side bars-bolts for connecting each easing With a cross piece, a channel-shaped member passing through each casing, ribs 0n the top of each channel-shaped member en gaging a, pair of notches in the frame, a toothed member having apart engaging each ehannel-shaped member and clamped therein. by the casing anda pair of transverse flanges on each channel-shaped member for L engag ng the innersides of the side pieces for preventing longitudinal movement of each chann -s pe m er-i Y In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
